Upon arrival at the home, 38-year-old Matthew Taylor Sigler and 39-year-old Kelly Marie Sigler were arrested without incident. the HCDTF reported.

Agents searched the home and found 17 grams of suspected heroin which was individually packaged for sales, digital scales, drug paraphernalia and other packaging material.
